“It’s amazing how much love people have shown my comic Demeter,” Cloonan wrote Sunday on her Facebook page. “I really appreciate it, especially since all the nominees were incredible. Sorry I couldn’t attend the ceremony, but thank you for all the support and kind words! I’m sincerely honored.”

The final installment of a trilogy standalone self-published comics that also includes Wolves and The Mire, Demeter is a haunting and tragic tale of love and loss inspired by Greek myth. It was also nominated this year for an Eisner Award.

The comic competed for the British Fantasy Award against Jennifer Wilde, by Maura McHugh, Karen Mahoney and Stephen Downey; Porcelain, by Benjamin Read and Chris Wildgoose; Rachel Rising, by Terry Moore; Saga, by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples; and The Unwritten, by Mike Carey and Peter Gross.

Becky Cloonan is now accepting preorders for By Chance or Providence, a limited-edition hardcover collection of her acclaimed trilogy of minicomics Wolves, the Eisner Award-nominated The Mire and Demeter.

“These stories cast a hypnotic melancholy,” the description reads, “weaving their way through a medieval landscape of ancient curses and terrible truths that will haunt you long after you’ve set them down.” The cover illustration is lovely, but the details sound even better: a canvas hardcover with gold foil blocking on the spine and cover, with a bonus sketchbook and illustration section, wrapped in a dust jacket.

By Chance or Providence is priced at $20; the print run will be determined by the number of preorders received by March 21. Retailers are encouraged to visit the wholesale site.

Welcome to the first “Report Card,” a new feature we plan to run every weekend. If “Cheat Sheet” is your guide to the week ahead, “Report Card” is a look back at the week in review. It will include an overview of top news stories you might have missed, as well as a look at the Robot 6 team’s favorite comics that we read this week.

So read on to find out what we thought of Batwoman #21, X-Files: Season 10 #1, Becky Cloonan’s Demeter and much more.

When she isn’t drawing comics like Batman or The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, Becky Cloonan is self-publishing her own awesome minicomics like The Mire and Wolves. Her latest, Demeter, is now available for pre-order on WereHouse.ca, a site that also features work by Karl Kerschl and Andy Belanger.

Cloonan said she decided to move from her previous storefront at Big Cartel to the new site because of the response she’s received to her self-published comics.

“It’s a short story, about 27 pages,” she tells the website. “I can’t say too much about it without giving away the huge spoiler at the end. It has a little bit to do with the Greek myth of Demeter, the god of the harvest. It follows a fisherman’s wife as she kind of waits for her husband to return from sea. She tends to the crops and the animals. While she’s doing this, things start to bubble to the surface.”

Cloonan’s previous two minicomics, Wolves and The Mire, are now available from comiXology.

Although Becky Cloonan has been hard at work on The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, the upcoming miniseries that teams her with Gerard Way and Shaun Simon, she’s somehow found time for a new minicomic called Demeter.
